THE EMPIRE NEXT.
SOME OF THE JOBS BEFORE
OUR CONGRESS.
American Statecraft-HOw we Are
Going to stop Emigration and
Put Down Labor Agita.
tiOn-EXcursiOns for
AgitatOrs.

For the benefit of those who, from
prejudice, or on account of mental
and physical prostration, neglect to
read the daily papers, it may be well
for the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE to
call attention to some Of the "little
bills that are to come before Congress
in the course of the next three
months.
The first and most important of
these emana'es from distinguished
Senator who, it is hardly necessary
to state, halls from Chicago. 1t is,
in substance, as follows
upon the representations in writing
by three property holding citizens to the
District Attorney of their locality that
certain person is engaged in labor agita-
ton and stirring discomfort among the
working classes and is thus dangerous to
society; the said District Attorney shall
forward statement of the fact to the
President of the United States, who shall
be empowered to order the said person
arrested and conveyed out of, and ban
ished from, the United States, without
notice or trial. The offence of returning
to be punished by Imprisonment"
Thus far the bill has met with the
most hilarious appreciation from the
press, and it is quite likely to pass.
Agitators and walking delegates,
take notice
The second bill provides:
"That all emigrants shall undergo
strict personal examination before ad-
mission can be granted at any Of our
ports. The emigrant must show GER
tificate from the proper authorities of
his Government stating that he is neither
a Socialist nor an anarchist, and that he
is not a pauper or u criminal; this certiti-
cate to be countersigned by the Ameri-
can consul of the port from which he
ships. The emigrant must further show
the funds necessary to support his fam
lily for at least six months.
Prospective migrants will read
and reflect.

A Inst Judxe.

President Cleveland has interfered in
the case of Guilford Miller, and ordered
that the Secretary Of the Interior protect
him from the rapacity of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. Miller is a
farmer who, in 1878, settled on one hun
bred and sixty acres of Government land
in Washington Territory, fifty miles
from the line of the Northern Pacific
Railroad. After he had put seven years
of hard labor upon his homestead the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company cast
covetous eyes on his land, and tried to
force him off it and endeavored to use
the Land Office as the instrument of Its
Injustice Had it succeeded a number
of other poor settlers We're to be robbed
of the land they had toiled go hard to
make fruitful and on which they expect
ed to spend their lives. The rich and
dishonest corporation, holding nearly 5o,-
900, 900 acres of land which it had not
earned, having failed in its contract
with the nation, employed the best legal
talent to- effect its ends. Under Republi-
can administrations it had been enabled
to do almost what it pleased. The Presi-
dent in letter to Secretary Lamar, has
directed that Guilford Miller shall be pro-
tected and the abuses of the RAILROAD cor
poration in the matter of land holding
shall be inquired into.
Here is one great benefit the people of
the United States have gained by the
change to a Democratic administration.
1t is turning the rascals out.

In Hole with a Colony of Root Diggers.

While dashing furfbusly along / sud-
denly felt myself sink into the earth up
to my armpits. At the same instant /
heard down in the ground the shrieks of
human beings-women and children. /
felt hands clutch at my legs and naked
human bodies pressing against them. |
uttered no sound. Twas too much fright
ened. l held my breath and shrank
within myself Every instant l ex-
pected to feel a knife or a spear thrust
into my body. My feet were on the
ground, and, without knowing what |
was doing. | gave strong push with my
breast. Finding that something was
giving way, plunged forward and up
a steep slope of two or three feet, when
found myself bounding like deer
across the level meadow with a great
continuance of basket work suspended
from my hips and extending yard or
more on all sides. | looked for all the
world rs if had donned huge hooped
skirt. While making a momentary halt
in order to disengage myself from the
singular machine hanging upon me. l
cast my eyes backward and saw an old
woman and three or four nakeo children
scrambling out of the hole from which
/ had Just made my escape. Yelling at
the top of their voices, they dashed away
as fast as their legs would carry them,
making for the nearest hills. BY the
time | had pushed my basket skirt down
to my heels and stepped out of it, l saw
dozen or more black heads emerging
from the earth in my immediate neigh
borhood. Seeing the shaggy heads pop
ping up all about me, darted away at
pace that must truly have astonished the
natives. think l must have left the
village at least five miles behind before |
halted | then threw myself upon the
ground too much exhausted to even load
my gun.
Was it one of their houses that YOU
had jumped into, uncle:' here asked
small boy. who had been listening with
all his ears.
Yes boy, the roof of one of their
huts. You see these miserable root-dig-
ging. frog-eating devils live in holes dug
in the ground, just like so many wood
chucks. They make a kind of basket
work dome of willow. which they place
over the hole and cover with grass and
earth by way of roof. and in hot weather
they sometimes strew this roof with
green leaves as an additional protection
against the heat of the sun. The one
into which | plunged was SO covered.

Washington Letter in Chicago.
Being at Richmond the other day |
visited the beautiful Hollywood Gene
etry to see the grave of President Tyler,
which had always heard was unmarked.
The tenth President of the United States
is buried in a slightly spot overlooking
the James River and only few rods
from the ornate sepulchre of James Mon
roe. Beside him lies the body of his
daughter, Julia TYLER, who died in the
seventeenth year of her age, and pretty
monument stands at her head. but the
mound at her left is unmarked, and I'M
der the turf the bones of the father are
said to be deposited. The State of Vir-
ginia has several times threatened To
erect a monument, and several bills have
been introduced in Congress for the pur-
pose. The family has not erected a mon
ment, because il believes the government
should do it. Mrs. Tyler, the widow,
lives in Richmond on a pension of 5000
a year from the government; two sons
are in Washington-one physician and
the other an employee in the Interior De
partment. The burial-place of William
Henry Harrison is said to De also I'M
marked which doubles the national dis
grace.

A YOUTHFUL DESPERATE.
He TerroriZes Western Community and At
tempts to Murder His Brother.

PORTLAND, Me-, July 22.-This morning the
youngest person who ever attempted to commit
a murder brought before Judge Gould, of
the Municipal Court. George E. Lawrence is a
boy of twelve years, but he has managed in his
short life to at least attempt the
mission of many crimes His par
ents died some months ago, and the boy
George sent to his brother, who is foreman
of great stock farm in Kansas. He began to
develop decided Jesse Pomeroy traits aud be-
came the terror of that section He stole
valuable horse and skipped" At last they
succeeded in striking his trail but it took
dozen men a week to hunt him down. When
cornered the young rascal showed fight. and,
being we'll armed, kept the squad at bay for
some time. but finally concluded to surrender.
After persistent attempt reform him, his
brother took him back TO Cape Elizabeth. He
rather worse for the change, and last night
his brother, John Lawrence, gave him a good
talking TO. George seemed ugly than
usual, and said in threatening way: I'm do
you for that" After they retired, George got
mp quietly, and opened his knife. Then John
felt the hand of his brother passing slowly
and grabbed the hand of the young villain just
as the point OF the knife touched his throat, and
just in time his life ''You meant to
kill me-" he said TO George. '''Y cure just right.

After becoming convinced that he was bound
to kill some If left at liberty, his brother
had him arrested, and Judge Gould sent him to

Railway Collision Near CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI July 22.-The Montgomery
commodation train on the Cincinnati Northern
railway, due here at 1:45 P. NJ, collided with a
switch engine at the Oakstreer tunnel on Wal
nut Hills. The accommodation had two we'll
filed coaches. Most of the passengers were
ladies, and thu excitement for few minutes
terrible. 1t soon became evident that o
further damage had been done to the coaches,
which had not left the track, and quiet was soon
restored. None of the passenger suffered be-
yond the shock and a few bruises. and all were
able to walk away and seek medical attention
at the neighboring drug stores. Collins, the
clan attending him thinks he will recover. En-
gineer Crook and the fireman of the construc-
ton train escaped by jumping. The accident
was due TO the fact that engineer Crooks watch
was two minutes slow, while the passenger tram,
it is claimed. a little ahead of time.
